Abstract
Offering tourism and protecting the local
community is a balancing act. Many agree that pleasing tourists should maintain
the satisfaction of the locals. It is then the aim of this study to determine
the sustainability status of the ecotourism destination as perceived by tourism
suppliers in Tublay, Benguet, in terms of sociocultural, economic, and
environmental dimensions. Further, to find out the significant relationship
between the perception of the tourism suppliers about the identified ecotourism
sustainability indicators. It is further the intention to create an information
pamphlet based on the need that arose from the survey data. The study used a
quantitative approach, using a survey questionnaire. The questionnaire was
subjected to reliability testing using Cronbach Alpha and was deemed reliable.
The respondents were 50 tourism suppliers from the ecotourism establishment of
Tublay, selected via purposive sampling. Data gathered were subjected to
average weighted mean and ANOVA. The main findings showed that the environment
is the most vital dimension among the Principles of Tourism Sustainability. The
tourist respecting the locals appeared to be an area that needs improvement.
Overall, Tublay tourism practices seem conscious of maintaining sustainability;
however, it still show areas to improve. The result implies that the
stakeholders of Tublay, the local government unit, management of the ecotourism
destinations, suppliers, and residents necessitate having constant
communication to strengthen partnerships towards tourism sustainability.
